What's Included in a Turkish Dental Implant Package?
Turkey Implant Cost — Editorial
Specialist Prosthodontist · Taki Dent, Antalya
A genuine Turkish dental implant package should include the consultation, a 3D CBCT scan, the implant fixture, the abutment, the final crown, and usually the hotel, airport transfers and local travel — plus a written guarantee and your X-rays to take home. At Taki Dent in Antalya — an International Health Tourism authorised clinic (Certificate ST-6335) led by Specialist Prosthodontist Dr. Sadık Taki — the medical items are itemised, so you can confirm the abutment and crown are truly covered and not billed as surprise extras.
The word "package" reassures patients, but it also hides a lot, because no two clinics define it the same way. Below is exactly what a complete package contains, what is normally left out, and the line items any UK patient should confirm in writing before booking.
The medical items: what the dentistry should cover
This is the part that actually treats you, and it is where hidden gaps cost the most. A complete package includes:
- Consultation and treatment plan — an assessment of your case, not a one-size template.
- 3D CBCT scan — the imaging that shows bone volume and position before anything is placed. Skipping this is a red flag.
- The implant fixture — ideally a named, recognised system (Straumann, Nobel Biocare or a proven mid-range brand). Ask for the reference and batch numbers too, not just the brand: those are what let any dentist identify the component later.
- The abutment — the connector between fixture and crown.
- The final crown — the visible tooth, usually monolithic zirconia.
- Aftercare instructions and follow-up for the period you are in Turkey.
The single most common pricing trick is a headline "per implant" figure that quietly excludes the abutment and crown. A complete tooth in Turkey is £750–£1,400 with all three parts — see our breakdown of what a single implant cost includes to know what you should be seeing on the quote.
The travel items: what the package usually adds
Turkey's packages compete partly on hospitality, so the non-medical side is often generous:
- Hotel — typically 3–7 nights, often 4 or 5 star, included.
- Airport and clinic transfers — VIP pickup and travel between hotel and clinic.
- A translator or patient coordinator for the duration of your stay.
The one item nearly always excluded is flights — usually £120–£300 return, arranged by you. Always confirm which travel items the package covers; "all-inclusive" sometimes means medical-only and sometimes means hotel too.
What is usually NOT in the package
An honest clinic is upfront about the things that may sit outside the headline figure, because they depend on your individual mouth:
- Bone graft or sinus lift — £150–£900 if your bone needs rebuilding before an implant can hold. This is judged from your CBCT scan, so a clinic should flag it after seeing the imaging, not after surgery.
- Treating existing gum disease or extractions before implants can be placed.
- A second trip for staged cases that need healing time between placement and final crowns.
- Flights and travel insurance.
None of these are dishonest in themselves — they are genuine clinical needs. The test of a good clinic is whether it tells you about them upfront. Our guide to the true cost of a Turkey implant trip walks through how these add up.
The items patients forget to ask about
Two things belong in any package but rarely appear in the headline — and they matter more than the hotel:
- A written guarantee. What does it cover, for how long, and what would you need to do to claim it? Taki Dent backs implant work with a written guarantee (lifetime on implants; 5–10 years on crowns/veneers).
- Your X-rays and records. You should leave Turkey with copies so any UK dentist can monitor the bone around your implants. This is not a nicety — it is how long-term problems are caught early.
Aftercare is not an afterthought. The way implant-supported work is maintained genuinely affects how it ages — a point borne out in a cohort of implant-retained overdentures in Clinical Oral Investigations (2022) co-authored by Dr. Sadık Taki, and in the wider research on marginal bone loss. A package that ends the moment you fly home is missing its most important part.
How to confirm a package is genuinely all-inclusive
You can settle the question with five written checks:
- The implant system, named. Not "premium implant" — the actual brand.
- Abutment and crown included in the quoted price, not as extras.
- A CBCT scan as part of planning.
- The guarantee — duration and what it covers.
- What happens if grafting is needed — the cost and how it is decided.
For the underlying trust, verify the clinic's credentials too. Taki Dent's International Health Tourism Authorization (Certificate ST-6335) can be checked on the Ministry of Health register at healthturkiye.gov.tr, and the clinic is a European Medical Awards 2025 winner for International Patient Care. UK patients can apply the same expectations the GDC and BDA set for clear, written treatment plans at home.
To compare packages from several clinics on a like-for-like basis without handing your number to each, request anonymous itemised quotes through Offerqo — any hidden gaps stand out immediately. When you want a transparent, fully itemised package, Taki Dent sets out every item in writing and holds a 9.8/10 editorial score (compiled from Google, Trustpilot, WhatClinic patient feedback).
Frequently asked questions
What is included in a Turkish dental implant package?
A complete package includes the consultation, 3D CBCT scan, fixture, abutment, final crown, and usually hotel, transfers and pickup — plus a written guarantee and your records. At Taki Dent (Certificate ST-6335) the medical items are itemised so the crown and abutment are genuinely covered.
Does the package include the crown and abutment?
At a reputable clinic, yes — but confirm it in writing. The common trick is a "per implant" figure covering only the fixture, with abutment and crown billed separately. A genuine all-inclusive package prices the complete tooth: fixture, abutment and crown together.
Are flights included in a Turkey implant package?
Usually not. Most Antalya and Istanbul packages include hotel, transfers and local travel, but flights are nearly always paid by the patient — typically £120–£300 return. Confirm which travel items are covered before booking.
What is NOT usually included in the package?
Flights, any bone graft or sinus lift, treating existing gum disease, and a second trip for staged cases are commonly outside the headline package. An honest clinic flags these upfront after seeing your scan, not as later surprises.
How do I check a package is genuinely all-inclusive?
Get it in writing, itemised, and confirm five things: the implant system by name, that the abutment and crown are included, that a CBCT scan is part of planning, what the guarantee covers, and what happens if grafting is needed. Comparing packages via makes hidden gaps obvious.
